New Island Pops Up Off the Coast of North Carolina
By Tia Ghose, Senior Writer | June 30, 2017 01:26pm ET
 

 

A new island suddenly emerged from the sea just off the coast of North Carolina — but officials warn that the spit of land is too dangerous for humans to explore.

The new sandbar island seemingly sprang from the ocean in just a few weeks, the Virginian Pilot reported. The island, which is about 1 mile (1.6 kilometers) long and about 480 feet (146 meters) wide, lies off the coast of Buxton, North Carolina, which is part of the Cape Hatteras National Seashore.

You can see hints of it from earlier imagery:

With all the climate change going on it won't last.

It is an earth priapism.  If it doesn't subside in a few weeks call algore.

I wonder if they could land Christie on it?

Rats are already looking to tax the first inhabitants.

Now that's just rude.

What did that island ever do to you?

Good luck with that. Offshore islands are a tax shelter.

Is offshore island an oxymoron?

Hank Johnson blocked that - he claimed it would tip over...
